Survivor season 47 aired episode 11 on Wednesday, November 27, 2024. The segment saw the aftermath of Gabe's elimination and saw a shift in dynamics as new alliances started to form.
The segment saw a boat take three contestants away from a challenge, only for them to return soon after. While only Genevieve and Sam initially wanted to go, Rachel put in her name as well. The cast member earned an advantage and had the power to block another castaway's vote during a tribal council secretly.
During the immunity challenge, it came down to Genevieve and Rachel but they later emerged victorious. Fans of the CBS reality show commented on Rachel's gameplay in episode 11 online.
"Rachel now armed with an idol, a vote block, and her incredibly powerful mind is a wildly dangerous combination this late in the game," one person wrote on X.
"Rachel absolutely dominated this episode. Already armed with an idol and a myriad of social relationships, then crushes the journey puzzle to get a Vote Block and finesses her way to individual immunity. Queen sh*t," a fan commented.
"RACHEL IS EATING THIS EPISODE UP!!!!!!! LIKE THIS IS HER EPISODE! #Survivor I AM SO F*CKING PROUD OF HER!!! i’m so happy i have been rooting for her since the very beginning!!!! AHHHH" a tweet read.
Fans of Survivor season 47 called Rachel "strong".
"Rachel is so mothering. Started strong, got blindsided when Anika got voted out, was at the bottom of the tribe, swapped again at the bottom of the tribe, got saved by an adv. from Sol, found an advantage on her own, and now won immunity while also being with majority," a person wrote.
"This episode is all about Rachel. And I'm alright with that. She got the advantage and the immunity win. Good for her," a fan commented.
"I’ve been rooting for Rachel since ricegate LOL I’m so happy for her. I’m gonna go make that my pinned tweet again," a tweet read.
Fans of Survivor season 47 further said:
"I think it’s pretty objectively wild that Rachel is considered the front runner to win the season, and yet, eleven episodes in, all we know about her is that she’s strategic, likes puzzles, and has a husband. I’ll be so pissed if the truthers are actually right," a person wrote.
"Rachel really dominating all facets of this episode. Strategic, puzzle beast and immunity idol win. Now the question for the next 30 mins comes down to Genevieve vs Kyle. And oddly enough I think Gen is the better move," a fan commented.
"Interesting"— Rachel wins an advantage in Survivor season 47 episode 11
In Survivor season 47 episode 11, Rachel, Genevieve, and Sam left for an unknown journey. The three of them had to draw rocks and Rachel drew the "lucky" rock allowing her to walk away with the "element of risk" rock.
The cast member had to take part in a puzzle challenge to win an advantage. The task included her standing on a platform in the middle of the ocean where she had to solve the puzzle before the board fell into the water.
If she failed to do so, the Survivor season 47 castaway would have lost her vote at the upcoming tribal council. However, by winning the task, she earned the power to block one player's vote from the tribal council. The piece of paper informing her of the advantage further revealed that the person she chose to block would not know who blocked their vote.
"Interesting, this does add to my options plus I get to walk out of this situation with my vote and that's huge," she told the cameras.
During the immunity challenge, the Survivor season 47 contestants had to spell "immunity" by stacking up blocks that had to be balanced on a table using a rope. Genevieve and Rachel were the top contenders to win the task but ultimately, Rachel emerged victorious.
Fans of Survivor season 47 praised the castaway's gameplay in season 47 on social media.
